Questionable Saturday Powell (shoulder) is suited up in uniform ahead of Satuday's game with UMass Saturday.
Impact While it appears that Powell will not start, it is possible he comes in to replace Austin Smith if things go downhill. Powell has completed 62-of-94 passes for 681 yards, four touchdowns, and five interceptions in three games this season.

Won't play Saturday Powell (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Buffalo, Alex Alvarado of The Ypsilanti Eleven reports.
Impact Powell left last week's game against Arizona State with a shoulder injury but was expected to be available for Saturday's matchup against Buffalo. However, he isn't dressed ahead of the game and will ultimately be held out while Austin Smith serves as the starting quarterback.

Fully healthy for Saturday Powell (shoulder) is expected to be fully ready to go for the game versus Buffalo on Saturday, Vannzee of Hustlebelt blog reports.
Impact Powell was forced to exit last week's game with an injury but that looks to be behind him. Powell should get plenty of chances to throw the ball as EMU seems content to let Powell air it out, as he has thrown 30 or more passes in both games that he finished this season.

Leaves early with shoulder issue Powell went 10-for-14 for 93 yards with an interception Saturday night against Arizona State, before leaving in the second quarter due to a shoulder issue.

Solid in loss Powell completed 18 of 25 passes for 211 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Saturday's 21-13 loss to Liberty.
Impact The day started with a touchdown drive and ended with a touchdown drive for Powell, but the middle parts weren't as successful. Five of Troy's nine possessions ended in punts, and Powell threw a costly pick after the Troy defense got a stop to open the second half. Still, completing 72 percent of your passes isn't a bad thing. The Trojans will look to turn it around against Southern Miss next week, a team that Sun Belt brethren South Alabama beat 31-7 in Week 1.

Shines in opener Powell completed 17 of 28 passes for 234 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 55-3 win over Southern. He also had one carry for one yard and a touchdown.
Impact The Missouri transfer was strong in his first game as a Trojan, completing 61 percent of his passes and connecting with Tez Johnson and Deshon Stoudemire for touchdowns. His one interception did come in the red zone, but the junior bounced right back and followed his mistake up with two consecutive touchdown-scoring drives. An intriguing opportunity for Troy to make a statement comes next week when the Liberty Flames come to Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Wins starting job Powell has been named the starting quarterback for Troy's opener versus Southern, Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Powell was in a battle with Gunnar Watson in camp to land the job but ultimately bested him to land the job after transferring in from Missouri last December. He has completed less than 50 percent of his passes in his two stints under center with Missouri but could find better success at a smaller school with a lower level of opposition.

Hoping to push for QB1 spot Powell and Gunnar Watson will compete for the starting quarterback job during fall camp, The Montgomery Advertiser reports.
Impact Powell transferred from Missouri back in December after three seasons with the Tigers. Gunnar Watson was very solid last season for Troy, but clearly the coaching staff believes in Powell's talent and this competition is expected to go all the way down to the wire.
